Question

Use distance formula d=√(X2 – X1 )2 + (X2 – X1 )2, calculate the distance r from the origin to the point r (-2, √5).

Answer 1

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}} \\d = \sqrt{(\sqrt{5} - (-2))^{2} + (\sqrt{5} - (-2))^{2}} \\d = \sqrt{(\sqrt{5} + 2)^{2} + (\sqrt{5} + 2)^{2}} \\d = \sqrt{(4 + 4\sqrt{5} + 5) + (4v + 4\sqrt{5} + 5)} \\d = \sqrt{0 + 0} \\d = \sqrt{0} \\d = 0$
